Friday Afternoon in Prague

This past Friday the CEO invited me to drive with him to a Expo in Prague. Though honestly since he was there to meet with clients, he only expected me to attend for about an hour, before letting me have the rest of the day to explore the city on my own ;) My first impression for the bulk of city was that it was just rampant modern urbanization with skyline completely congested with towers and multinational advertisements strung across the streets. But you reach the old quarter of the city, and it's practically a different world. The pictures I felt worth showing are from the Charles Bridge.









The bridge is such a tourist attraction completely bustling with foreigners, and it was the first time I heard native English speakers in the last 3 weeks (though it was British accents mostly.) It somehow felt odd, and I had a slight longing to try and have a conversation with them just so that I could once again talk at my normal speech tempo.






Views seriously don't get much better than this :D The rest of the photos I'll throw into an album on facebook.

I spent the rest of the afternoon attending a costume art museum, taking 3 course lunch for less than $5 at this lovely little restaurant up the hill, and found out during the car ride that my boss is an ex-head banging metal head (nose piercing and hair down to his waist as a teen), which is just shocking as now he's your typical laid back IT guy who loves his clean t shirt and jeans look :)

Also this week marked my first attempt at playing squash. Session was great exercise but my swinging arm was seriously sore for the rest of the week. I might have to stick with swimming, easier on my body :p

The rest of the weekend was spent with an absolutely solid group of friends, from Poland, who I met all the way back when I studying abroad in Korea. When they knew I had finally arrived in the Czech Rep they went out of their way to find a weekend to visit me. It's friends like that that make my world travels so addicting, and me completely grateful for the life I have, THANKS GUYS!
